Man's cam - LOL You sound like Alex. He was taking this piss out of my 885 cam choice telling me I had bought a little boys cam and not a man's cam.
There's a man you can respect,, hehe fantastic and exactly what I'd expect,, he's spot on too.

Yes you have pointed that out before regards the plenum Peter thumbup

These are great little engines, I never felt much for them as a kid, must have been the sound of my dads Jag and the straight 6 engines of the mark I adore so much so it's taken me some years to appreciate the RV8
I think seeing a great yank tank 60's muscle race car with straight through pipes being shaken down earlier this year helped,, it sounded like Alex 4.6 on that massive cam,, shunting but awesome, loud and massive cc but I could really hear our cars in the thing, I thought OMG my car actually sounds like that,, adrenalin rush and deep satisfaction, I woke up to,why you guys push them on, thumbup

You might need that throttle body setup with the overlap on your new cam ;-)

I bet that's a satisfying feeling smile
I got involved in a few recon engine builds when I was youth, little Bmc and Ford X flows,
They all blew up hehe joke!!!

I loved the methodical approach, I do enjoy going over to Powers just to see some engine building.

Top job by the looks of it Peter. thumbup
